(NOTE: as of August 3, 2015 all positions have been filled.)
The Wage Standards Division is recruiting for Labor Law Enforcement Specialists IV. There are three positions available, all on Oahu. Individuals may qualify to interview at lower levels. That means that entry level applicants (LLES I, II, and III) will be considered. If hired at a lower level, you can progress through the series until you reach LLES IV. Typically those hired at LLES I, will take approximately 2 1/2 years to progress to a LLES IV. For all levels you need to have a 4-year college degree and at least one class of bookkeeping (specialized experience may qualify but check the requirements in the recruitment notice).
What does it pay?
Salaries for the LLES I level start at $37,464 (SR 16), in six months you may qualify for LLES II, which is $40,548, (SR 18), after a year at LLES II, you have the time experience to qualify for LLES III, (SR 20) which currently pays $43,812. Finally, after a year of being a LLES III, you would have the time experience to qualify for LLES IV (SR 22), which is the top of the series. The range of annual salary for LLES IV is currently $47,400 to $70,188 annually. A complete list of the Unit 13 salaries can be found here. Increases to the salary schedules have already been finalized for 2016 and 2017. A complete description of benefits offered to the State civil service employees can be found on the Department of Human Resources Development webpage.
What does an LLES do?
LLESs are the Division's investigators. They meet with employers and employees, review records, interview witnesses and identify and cite violations of the law. Being a LLES IV at the Wage Standards Division means that every day will be different and interesting. You will learn investigation techniques, communication tools, record keeping and reporting processes. Individuals who have strong communication abilities, are organized, good listeners, and problem-solvers will likely enjoy this career very much. This is a rare opportunity that the positions are opened up for public recruitment because many of the people in the Division come here and stay until they retire because the job is both challenging and personally rewarding via the public service provided. Check out our website to see the many things we do here at WSD, and see if you think this type of work is something you would excel at. (edited 10/20/15)
